he's owned by bones and i! but he started off as a fan interpretation of skid's dad from spooky month, who i suggested we call "Atticus" as a placeholder. we gave him a personality, lore, etc, all as a placeholder until we knew more, but eventually we decided to just make him ours, since he was basically an oc from the start! he was given a full name which is Atticus Theodore Maynard (Atticus Morningstar is his stage name). he likely has several bastard children across the world and isn't an active father. despite being an insane, mentally deranged evil man, he was raised right! he was born in Wisconsin and has two wonderful parents who love him very much, their names are Henry and Jane! if he has any trauma its definitely not from his upbringing, he was probably just born kinda evil and it got worse as he got older, directing any sadistic tendencies to anyone but his family.

for his design, again, originally stemmed from skid's dad's vague design, we came up with the rest! nowadays he looks a lot different and is his own person, the long black hair and blunt bangs are his sexy trademark <333 now his monster-y deity design, we just drew him like that one day (the snout) and it kinda stuck, originally he looked a lot different and was more like a mannequin.

all in all, he's a vile man and he's one of my favorite ocs bones and i have created together ;w;
